“I noted that Hampton Inn's Halifax location, while technically downtown, sits at the district's edge - be prepared for a bit of a climb from the waterfront. The free breakfast and consistently available coffee are definite perks. Although the rooms are showing their age, they are clean.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently appreciate the spacious and clean rooms, with some even mentioning nice views of the harbor or the Citadel. The hotel's central location makes it easy to walk to downtown activities and Argyle Street, while the Metro Centre is just a short walk away. The presence of an indoor swimming pool offers a relaxing amenity for guests; however, some have noted that the AC in the rooms could struggle to keep up on hot days.

Excellent Stay Downtown

I liked the helpful and friendly staff. One employee took our picture. I appreciated that the room was spacious and clean. It also had a large window that offered a good view of the citadel.

I found that the breakfast lacked some healthy options. There were only limited fruit and water available. The eggs contained processed cheddar cheese.
